Note
  1. If no jumper is present, the server responds as default.
  2. Changing the position of the boot block jumper from pins 1 and 2 to pins 2 and 3 for 5 seconds before the server is turned on alters which flash ROM page is loaded. Do not change the jumper pin position after the server is turned on. This can cause an unpredictable problem.

Important
  1. Before you change any switch settings or move any jumpers, turn off the server; then, disconnect all power cords and external cables. Review the information in Safety, Installation guidelines, Handling static-sensitive devices, and Turning off the server.
  2. Any system-board switch or jumper blocks that are not shown in the illustrations in this document are reserved.
  3. If there is a clear protective sticker on the top of the switch blocks, you must remove and discard it to access the switches.
